Subject: questions about a "proof" of the Goldbach Conjecture.
I'm new to sci.math. I came here from comp.ai.philosophy by way of sci.logicbecause google groups doesn't allow crossposting and several people includec.a.p in their crossposted articles. In sci.logic the Goldbach Conjecturecame up with a lot of nonsense and it lead me to start thinking about it.Since my math is pretty rusty I'm having a bit of trouble. I came up withthe assertion that there would be a prime p between n and 2n and othersidentified this as Bertrand's Postulate. I'm using a slighly strongerconjecture that says "all even numbers greater than 7 can be expressedas the sum of two distinct primes." I'm asserting the problem is atopology problem and proposed there would be a proof related to thespacing of equadistant prime from all natural numbers n greater than 3.Today I found http://milesmathis.com/gold3.htmlIt's quite similar to what I proposed.Since it's not an accepted proof I'm assuming there must be a flaw. Is the flaw easy to spot and if so what is it?

Another corollary to my modified Goldbach Conjecture:

There is no natural number n such that for all primes p less than n2n-p is not a prime.

If you question that read it again. Sure some 2n-p will not be primebut not all of them or else n is prime and my stronger version is falseor the Goldbach Conjecture is false.
